I saw children and stones fighting soldiers and guns
But I have not seen the United Nations.
Maybe one day when our bones lay down in the sun,
This land will be a land of freedom. (bis)
I saw the fall of a wall and a new one was built.
How many will burn before we learn?
Maybe one day when we all share the guilt,
This land will be a land of freedom. (bis)
Sometimes I don't know what to say. Sometimes I feel like running away.
This land has seen many good men. I don’t understand
Why we should n’t be walking hand in hand
I saw a man standing in front of a tank and a woman lying dead
But the government said the soldier is innocent
And this land is a land of freedom...
